Bundee Aki has been ruled out of Connacht’s trip to the RDS to take on champions Leinster with a knee injury picked up on Ireland duty.

However, Andy Friend’s men have been boosted with promising lock Cian Prendergast, who went off for a HIA in the win over Ospreys last weekend, being cleared to play.
